Recycled Sound
Wireframes v0.1 — Hearing Aid Scanner Flow + Donor Journey
Flow 1: Hearing Aid Scanner
The primary feature. Works like Google Lens — donor or admin photographs a hearing aid,
AI identifies brand, model, year, battery type, wax filters, domes, and moulds.
Audiologist reviews and confirms tech level once the device is in hand.

Estimating
AI confidence varies by attribute. Brand & model are usually high confidence from visual cues. Tech level often needs audiologist confirmation.
Real-time progress as AI analyses the photo. Confidence bars show which attributes can be reliably identified visually vs. which need professional review.

Needs Audiologist Review
Tech level, programming interface (likely Noahlink Wireless), and gain range require professional assessment.
AI-identified specs with confidence. Editable fields (pencil icon) let users correct mistakes. Yellow card flags what needs audiologist hands-on review — aligning with the human-in-the-loop decision.
Flow 2: Audiologist Review & QA
After a device is scanned and added to the register, an audiologist physically inspects it,
confirms tech level, programming interface, and marks it as QA-passed. This is the human-in-the-loop step.

Design Notes
Key Decisions
- Scanner-first design — the Google Lens camera is the hero feature and primary CTA on the home screen
- AI confidence transparency — users see what the AI is confident about vs. what needs human review
- Human-in-the-loop — audiologist review is a mandatory step before any device enters matching; all recipient state changes are admin-triggered
- Register alignment — audiologist review fields map to the existing 26-field register (Noahlink, HiPro, tech level, Auracast, app compatibility, etc.)
- Accessibility for CALD users — chip-based selection over free text, visual progress indicators, "Learning English" as an explicit communication goal
- Connection toggle — optional donor-recipient connection (from board: "I want to connect" toggle) with privacy-first approach
Sprint Alignment
- Sprint 0: These wireframes cover user types (Donor, Recipient, Audiologist) and core user journeys (donation + recipient application)
- Sprint 1: Screens cover user auth (3A), donor listing (3B), recipient application (4A–4B), and the device register view (2A)
- Sprint 2: "Find a Match" button (2C) is the entry point to Sprint 2's matching logic; status tracking (4C) shows the device lifecycle
- Sprint 4: Privacy & consent screens (5A–5C) cover Australian Privacy Act APPs, Victorian Health Records Act, granular consent, data subject rights, and CALD-accessible translations
- Sprint 5: Impact stats on home screen (1A) and donation confirmation (3C) feed into the e-waste metrics dashboard
Not Yet Wireframed (Future Sprints)
- Admin dashboard — device matching interface, recipient management
- In-app messaging (Sprint 2) — post-match communication
- Audiologist directory (Sprint 3) — location search, telehealth filter
- Psychologist directory (Sprint 3) — deaf/HoH specialisation filter
- Legal disclaimers — device condition, medical (Sprint 4)
